About Watertown Area Cares Clinic
In order to get more information on this clinic, click on the icons below. You may be required to join for free in order to access full contact information.
We provide health services to the uninsured whose income is less than 250% of the federal poverty level.
We offer care by appointment only. We may accept same-day appointments (based on availability) please call.
Medication Assistance
One of our most successful programs is the Patient Assistance Program. Many free clinics use a majority of their donated funds to pay for medication. While we do pay for some things - such as diabetes testing equipment - most of our patient's medications are paid for by pharmaceutical companies or we prescribe affordable $4 generic drugs.

These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
